CHURN.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 343,016, dated June l, 1886. Application filed November lll, 1885. Serial No. 183,258. (No model.)

To all whom, it may concern:

Be it known that I, LORENZ DoELL, a citizen of the United States, residing at Lutesville, in the county of Bol-linger and State'of Missouri, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Churns; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.

This invention has relation to improvements in that class of churns known as rotary-body churns, and it consists in the construction, novel arrangement, and adaptation of devices as will be hereinafter more fully set forth, and particularly pointed out in the claims appended.

In the accompanying drawings, similar letters of reference indicate corresponiling parts in the several figures.

Figure 1 is a side elevation. Fig. 2 is a vertical .sectional view, and Fig. 3 is a perspective view of the head-beam.

Referring by letter' to the said drawings, A indicates the churn-bod y, which maybe formed ot' sheet metal orsuitable material. This body is pivotally supported in a frame composed of two base-bars, B and C, which are rigidlysecured together and cross caell other at right angles about midway of their length, so as to form a substantial bearing for the churn and operating mechanism. From opposite ends ofthe horizontal cross-bar B rise two parallel vertical standards, D E. In one of these standards and a parallel standard, F, is journaled a drive-wheel, G, having a peripheral groove to receive the driving belt or cord, as shown, and the bearings for the shaft of this wheel are formed of vertical slots having lateral openings provided with closing-pins, so that the said wheel may be easily and quickly removed when desired. At the bisection of the crossbars B and C, or at any suitable point, is a vertical socket-recess, I, which may be lined with metal, or the like, to form a bearing for the body-rod H. This rod H passes vertically through the body A, andis fixed toits bottom with an under vertical extension to enter the said socket-recess I.

I do not Wish to confine myself to any manner of securing the rod to the bottom of the churn, as various mechanical means may be employed. The axle of the drive-shaft may be provided with a crank-handle for turning the drive-wheel.

I( indicates the cross-head, which is provided at opposite ends with vertical apertures to receive the upper ends of the standards D E, and this cross-head lnay be provided with transverse periorations crossing the vertical apertures, to receive'pins or the like to removably secure ihe said cross-head to the standards. This cross-head is provided with a central vertical rectangular aperture, to receive the upper squared end of the dasher-rod H, whereby the dasher maybe held in a fixed position with relation to the main frame.

The dasher-shalt is provided with a longitudinal central aperture for the passage of the body-rod H, which extends above the upper end ol' the said shalt, to receive a pulley which is fixed thereto and receives the belt or cord from the drive-wheel.

y The cross-head is provided at its end adjacent to the drivewheel with an extended bracket, I), carrying a set of horizontal pnl leys, It, transverse of said crosshead, and a set of horizontal pulleys, S, at right angles thereto, the pulleys R beingjournaled in the walls of the bracket on a longitudinal plane coincident with that ofthe pulley fixed to the upper end of the body-rod, and may be separated by a washer, a, so as to allow them to rotate in opposite directions.

S S indicate pulleys, which are arranged relatively atv right angles and approximately above the drive-wheel, and are designed to guide the drive-belt over the pulleys R R, the cross-head being provided with guide eyes or loops for carrying the said belt or rope to the pulley of the body-rod. The guides T may be composed of rods having eyes at their upper ends and placed in vertical perforations d of the said head.

Having described this invention, what I claim is- 1. The combination, with the main frame, ot` the central vertical rod, H, fixed to the churn-body and passing through the dasherstem, and provided at its Aupper end with a fixed pulley, the cross-head having a vertical rectangular aperture to receive the upper end IOO of the dasher-stem, and the bracket secured to the cross-head and carrying the rollers R and S, to guide the operating-rope and the drive-wheel, substantially as specified.

2. The combination, with the main frame having the removable cross-head, of the flasher having its stem secured to the said cross-head und provided with a longitudinal hollow center, and the vertical rod H, passing through the dasher-stem and xed to lthe bottom of the churn-body, andprovided at its upper end with :L fixed pulley, substantially :is specified.

3. The combination, with :i rotative churnbody and frame supporting the saine, of the LORENZ DoELL.`
